I wouldnâ??t be able to live without this medication!!! My migraines come from trigger points in my trapezius muscles. I take a pill and usually within about one hour my migraine is gone. I have no side affects.

I have had migraines for over 3 years now and this was one of the first medicines I was perscribed. It was awful!!! It would make me throw up within 30 minutes of taking it. But my migraine would still be there and usually became worse. I was then given Cyproheptadine which works like a charm. I would not waste your money on this drug.
